Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein wrote the script.

Musician Alison Sudol, best known for her music as ‘A Fine Frenzy’, has joined the cast of “Harry Potter” spin-0ff “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the “Transparent” actress will play Queenie, the younger sister of Tina (Katherine Waterston), who runs into Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) when he stops in New York City on his way back home from his travels to find and document magical creatures.

The film is set for release on Nov. 18, 2016.

Valorie Curry (“The Following”)  has joined the cast of Ewan McGregor’s directorial debut “American Pastoral”.
